Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls & (nest level) VIRAL DUBAI CHOCOLATE

Homemade sweets and treats are always wonderful around the holidays and throughout the year as well. Add two wonderful treats to your holiday celebration as you learn to create freshly baked homemade Copycat Cinnabon® Cinnamon Rolls, and NEXT LEVEL, VIRAL Dubai Chocolate bars with made from scratch Kadaifi (shredded phyllo)! Make them for your family for a memorable holiday breakfast or wrap them up with bows and gift them to those you hold dear. After keeping her Copycat Cinnabon® (Cinnamon Roll) recipe a secret for MANY years, Tess has decided to share it EXCLUSIVELY to those that register for this class! She has often been told that her rolls are considered BETTER than actual Cinnabon® rolls. You will love these billowy, warm, luscious, gooey, rolls topped with cream cheese frosting that is out-of-this world-delicious. In addition, NEW to her Holiday Dessert class offerings, her version of the Viral Dubai Chocolate Bar! Tess takes the experience to the next level teaching participants how to create their own Kadaifi (shredded phyllo) from SCRATCH costing PENNIES, and her from-scratch version of pistachio cream filling for the chocolate bars!

Be ready to keep all recipes SECRET as they are only shared with participants of this class.Equipment needs: A 1” deep silicone Dubai Chocolate Bar mold is needed to create the chocolate bar. The bars can be made with simple melted chocolate. However if a longer lasting shiny finish is preferred, tempering the chocolate is beneficial. If participants wish to temper the chocolate, an instant read kitchen thermometer is needed.

Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking for well over 40 years since she was roughly 6 years old. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using ones senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was also a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form on the weekends as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with ones own hands and creativity was, and continues to be an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. Sweet, savory, or doughy, she enjoys experimenting and creating in the kitchen daily.

Pressure-cooking with a stovetop cooker has been a part of her culinary repertoire for over 25 years. Tess is creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones using the Instant Pot, which is taking her pressure-cooking to another level! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through community education for a number of years having worked with numerous public school districts in and around the Twin Cities. Tess has recently started writing her first cookbook, and her food blog is also in the works! Some of her creations can be seen on her Facebook page @dishitupgood https://www.facebook.com/dishitupgood/or on her Instagram Feed: Dish it up Good.
